Anyone saying fraud is insane and NOT from Ridgewood MV Glendale Maspeth or anywhere near Metropolitan. That deli been there since ToysRUs and is quite successful with tons of customers. Hopefully they rebuild and not shut the business down.

@CharliePrince exactly now it’s time to pack it up

cherryeyesNov 30 at 7:40 AM

I hope no cats live there

QueensUser379717001Nov 30 at 9:48 AM

@cherryeyes there’s a raccoon family behind the deli that’s often seen on the tracks of the m train

What I don't understand is why cars were still trying to move through an active fire scene. They should have Blocked those roads off. Fire department needs to have A clear path to work and not have to worry about cars getting in their way.

I’m so sad for them. Really good guys in there.
